Don't panic, it's not tonight. Every so often we arrange to meet up online and talk rubbish. Not so different from the day-to-day, but with more people. Yes, it sounds naff, but just you wait... it's also oddly satisfying.

And this is why I have taken to wearing aprons pretty much all the time at home. Everything I owned had splashes of bleach all over it - which is remarkable given how infrequantly I clean (as the Yorkshire ladies will be able to testify after tomorrow).

I just texted DH to put the heating on and he's just across the hall

We do that too

Very proud mummy to three little stars:

evening all! Im here, looking slightly ridiculous (but very comfy might i add) in my multicoloured harem pants. Come straight from my afro-brazilian dance class (nope im not joking). Loving it, more enjoyable than shred so far!! Anyhoo, didnt think dp was going to be in tonight so will just be bobbing on from time to time!

Nooooo. Can you use the rest of it to make something for one of the girls?

I feel weird lurking while y'all are having a party -- I feel like a Peeping Tom. So don't mind me, I'm just in the corner staring creepily at you all while Badger takes an unheard of 2-hour long second nap...

Anyway - I have succumbed to middle age and wear a pinny.

The sad thing is I was wearing an apron . I was cleaning the toilet, had put the bleach on the cistern, but - schoolgirl error! - without the lid on. Bottle slid off cistern, splashed all over me, my hair, the bath mat, and the floor, and then landed in the toilet. Fortunately my hair is ok, but the bathmat which was a lovely aubergine colour now has a pink Jackson Pollock effect, and as for my t-shirt....both sleeves, and splats all down the front where it splashed on and inside my apron.

Hello - dropping by for my first virtual party! Quiet here, feeding DS2 in the sofa, listening to dad reading story for DS1 next door. Wearing my current favorite hoodie - dont seem to fit on to any of my tops since my milk came in this time. Not really party attire, sorry!
